Amazing time
This photographer is a genius at his art. The make up session made me feel special and relaxed. They make a great team. I was made to feel at ease straight away which helped enormously. The experience was so good im wanting to go back for a different shoot. I was so interested to see all the other photographs he had taken they blew my mind. No the wonder this man has won awards such an eye for detail.

50s makeover and photoshoot
Delayed by 18 months due to COVID but when we got there it was enjoyable and very professional. It had been a Christmas gift for my granddaughter and she thoroughly enjoyed her day.

Fabulous day
A great experience I was made very welcome by Joe and Alex. The photos aren't cheap but they were fab and once in a lifetime pics, the effort that goes into producing them makes it totally worth it. I took along a couple of my own dresses and some props, but you don't have to as everything is provided. My husband came along too and I think he enjoyed it as much as me.

Fantastic experience
I had a wonderful day at Joe Laws photography in Newcastle having a 1950s makeover and photoshoot. The voucher was a gift in my 50th birthday year as I love everything vintage. I had a great makeup and hair style and had a variety of gorgeous dresses to wear which made me feel very special. The photographer knew how to make me comfortable and put me at ease and I was delighted with the photographs he took. A very enjoyable experience which I would recommend to anyone.

This was a gift given from in my 60th birthday
It was an interesting experience and it was a first time to get dolled up for a theme. All were very nice and professional except the costumes are a bit slightly smaller but you get on with it. The only thing is the £50 gift voucher was only if you buy the huge wall picture which is ok but if you didn’t want to you would lose out on the voucher. Which is unfair I think. The photos were not cheap at all but did order 3 one was free and 2 were not. Would I do it again.... no

not very special
it took a lot of faffing about to organise because i am deaf i couldnt make payment over the phone and that;s the only way they took payment.. i wasnt greated with a soda as promised when asked they said they had bever done it. you had to provide your own make up so didnt feel very special. the dresses were all too small for me, so crushed my assets and had to leave the back open. there was a good range of props and backgrounds. they didnt give me my deposit back

1950's Vintage Makeover and Photoshoot
Was very disappointed overall with experience. Arrived and was made to wait for 40 minutes from start time given. Make up and hair were fantastic and that part was reallly fun, but photo shoot itself was very short- only 20 minutes and they did not take a single shot that I liked with me on my own. Was not allowed to have a photo of the two of us together as my complementary photo so had to pay £95.00 for a pic I liked, and was not allowed to use money off voucher- only redeemable on +£300 spend

Did not get what was paid for as a gift a 1950s photo shoot got an ordinary photo shoot in Bristol which I could’ve had in Cheltenham paid good money would never ever buy anything from you again my employer bought the experiences as a gift no 1950s clothing so what’s the point of a 1950s photo shoot without the accessories. Very disappointed I know my employer tried to get hold of you but was unable to make contact left his phone number nobody phoned him
